EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Edgar Degas' masterpiece "DEGAS: OPERA, c1868-70. The Orchestra of the Opera". Painted between 1868 and 1870, this oil on canvas artwork showcases Degas' exceptional talent as an impressionist artist. In this scene, we are transported to the mid-19th century French opera house where a group of musicians is seated in preparation for a performance. Each musician is deeply engrossed in their craft, their concentration evident in their focused expressions. The fine details of their instruments and attire bring life to the painting, allowing us to appreciate the skillful brushwork that Degas employed. The central figure in the composition is a bassoon player who commands attention with his poised posture and intense gaze. Surrounding him are fellow musicians playing various instruments, creating an atmosphere filled with harmonious melodies waiting to be unleashed upon eager ears. Degas' ability to capture movement and light through his brushstrokes adds depth and dynamism to this piece. The play of shadows on the orchestra members' faces further emphasizes their dedication and passion for music. As one explores this artwork further, it becomes clear that Degas not only portrays a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into the world behind-the-scenes at an opera house during this era. Overall, "DEGAS: OPERA" serves as a testament to Degas' mastery as an artist while providing viewers with an intimate view into the enchanting world
